Ah. Hawaii. A lush tropical paradise, famous for many things: Magnum P.I.. 
I lawoiian Eye. that TV show starting Jack Lord's hair, and most importantly, 
the world's largest population ol gecko lizards. That's right, geckos. And one 
family of geckos In particular had a very special problem .... 

Deep in a valley on Maui lived a gecko family that was just trying to make ends 
meet. Mom had her paws full raising three and a half kids (their numbers were 
dependent upon theii regenerative powers) while Dad was away doing research 
for NASA GEX. the oldest offspring, was a bright lad who would spend his 
days with his friends, surfing, playing the ukulele and throwing poi parties down 
on the beach with the local lady lizards. 

That ail changed, though, the day his mother got a call from NASA telling her 
the tragic news. The rocket containing Dad and 10 other volunteers, chosen to 
see if they would eat tapioca pudding in zero gravity, had exploded on the 
launch pod due to a band aid floating in one oi the fuel tanks. The family's 
carefree upper-middle-class life was shattered! 

While the rest of the family dealt with theii grief in the usual manner (crying. 
infighting and rummaging through Dad's stuff). GEX bottled up his feelings. He 
took refuge in front of the only thing in the house that had always provided him 
with undemanding comfort: the TV 

GEX found out that in his time of need, all his old and sometimes forgotten 
friends were still there, ready to take his mind off his troubles. There was Kimba 
the white lion, eager to take him on an adventure through the African 
savannas The Six Million Dollar Man would stop by with a quick bionic 
pick-me-up. The Partridge Family would play a song, and then shake 



their heads at the wacky antics of Mr. Reuben Kincaid. These were 
GEX's true friends, and he was willing to spend the rest of his life in 
their groovy company. 



<s 



Try as she might. GEX's mom could not pry her son away from (he 
boob tube. So. after consulting with the family minister and the weird guy 
at work, she decided it was time for a change of scenery. They were going to 

leave Hawaii and start a new life ... in 

California. 

One week later, a moving van pulled up in 
front of the family's new ranch-style home in 

Encino, California, surrounded by white 

picket fences and white supremacists. As the 
moving men unloaded a crate containing 
GEX and his beloved TV. his mother 
exciaimed that she was excited about the 
family's new beginning. GEX just laughed 
and told her that was exactly what Maude said to her husband after she went 
through menopause. GEX was still having trouble dealing with his father's 
death, but Mom thought she knew just what to do. 

That night, the doorbell rang, and a burly older lizard came in carrying a basket 
of treats. He said his name was Harv and he lived next door and wanted to 
welcome the new neighbors. As he passed out vanous chocolate-covered bugs 
to GEX's siblings. Harv mentioned a little too loudly that he had one spot left on 
his Saturday All-Pro Girl Watching Team, and was wondering if there was 
someone around to fill it. GEX told him, from in front of the TV, that Jack 
Tripper was available, but only if he could get oul of the two dates he had ^^ 
made for the same night. FV 




r± && L Haiv seemed a little confused. He whispered something to Mom. 
W^"*^ dud then took a seat next to the tuned-out gecko. Then Harv asked 
GEX straight out if he would like to take that spot on the team. GEX replied 
(hat he'd iove to. but had promised Bosley that he would watch the Angels for 
him all week. Harv chuckled, and suggested lhat maybe GEX was watching a 
little too much TV. and needed to get outside. Without taking his eyes off the 
set. GEX explained that the last time he had gone outside, his dad blew up. 
surrounded by gallons of burning tapioca 

Completely out of ideas. Hon; bid Mom an exasperated farewell and left. Now 
what was a concerned mother to do? . . . 

The next morning. GEX came running downstairs, expecting to have breakfast 
with the Banana Splits as usual, when he froze in his tracks. The TV was gone! 
This must be some kind of joke! Was it out for repairs? Did someone break in 
and steal it? C'mon. man, this isn't funny! The room began to spin . . . GEX 
needed a TV fix . . . the little suction cups on his hands were beginning to twitch 
. . . WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON? 

Just then, his mother came in the room. "If you're looking for the TV. I gave it 
away to some gypsies early this morning.'' she said. She told him that enough 
was enough, and he needed to start doing things like a normal gecko. "Go 
catch some flies, practice walking up walls, enter a tongue-lashing contest. But 
for cripes sake, stop watching TV!" 

GEX couldn't believe this. The one thing in his life that had meaning was gone, 
and his mother was behind it. Exploding with rage, GEX announced that he 
was never setting foot inside this TV-less house again, and stormed out the 
1/ front door. Mom ran after him, begging him to stay, but it was too late. 
Vm She had done the unthinkable, and this was the result. 



(I 



The next few months were a blur. GEX hooked up with some local 
punks and spent his days skateboarding to the mall, hanging out in 
comic stores and blaring music through his Walkman " on a cliff 
overlooking the city. He slept in a friend's garage and made pocket 
money "doing errands" for frustrated housewives. His entire existence 
became one long, aimless haze, with none of his TV friends around to help out. 
This seemed to be how he would spend the rest of his life. Or was it ... . 

One day. as he was skateboarding along talking to his invisible buddy, "The 
Mayor" (life on the streets does things to a gecko), a long black limo pulled up. 
GEX was about to have His Honor go insult the driver, when the rear window 
rolled down, and he saw his mother! 

Mom told GEX she was so glad to have finally found him. because she had 
fantastic news! Three days after he had left. GEX's great uncle Charlie had 
kicked the bucket and left his entire estate to the family. The amazing part was 
that, unbeknownst to the family. Uncle Charlie was the original model for the 
Izod" shirt logo. He had invested his meager modeling salary back into 
company stock. At the time of his passing into the great beyond. Uncle 
Charlie's estimated worth was over 20 billion dollars! The family was nch! 

Shocked out of his mind, GEX jumped up in the air. told The Mayor he had just 
been impeached, and hopped into Mom's limo. The hard times were over He 
was going to start living life right! 

For the next few weeks, the entire family went on a mad spending spree, buying 
houses, cars, local judges and politicians. Mom purchased 51 percent owner- 
ship in NASA, and then fired everybody, sold the rockets to some third world 
countries, and converted Mission Control into a theme restaurant 
featuring robotic dancing chimps wearing space suits. n 



vCgRjt GEX's siblings said they had always wanted lo see Australia, so 
^^J" ' they bought it. GEX, on the other hand, was not into all the cars. 

jewels and other extravagances. He took his share of the fortune, tucked it into 

his pants pocket, and went for a walk. He u/alked and walked and walked. 

wondering what to do with his share. Then it hit him. He would use the cash lo 

fulfill a longtime dream! 

Exactly one hour later, GEX caled his mother down al her restaurant. "Space 
Monkeys." and told her good-bye. He was going back to Hawaii. He was 
going to buy fhe biggest house on Maui, fill it with the world's largest TV set and 
enough food for decades, and then seal himself inside. He was going to spend 
the rest of his life watching all his old TV 
friends getting into outrageous situations or 
amazing adventures. 

Mom wished him the best of luck, and then 
ran off to rewire some faulty chimps. GEX 
hung up the phone, and headed out to 
build hfc dream 

In a few days. GEX was parked in front of 
his TV. munching from a nearby bowl of 
flies. He was in the middle of flipping 
through channels to see what was on. "Nope, nope, nope.'' he droned, as he 
clicked the remote again and again, surfing through reruns of kung fu theater, a 
wacky cartoon and an old Indiana Jones movie. Those shows were so boring. 
He'd already seen all of them at least a million times He was ready for 




u 



something different. 



<| 



Frustrated. GEX started clicking all the remote's buttons rapid-fire. 
speeding through the channels in a super-fast blur. While he was 
clicking and kicking back, a fly buzzed by. GEX flicked out his tongue 
and - gulp! - down it went. But the fly was in reality a metallic 
transmitter. GEX was "bugged." 

Suddenly. GEX's remote jammed and the TV 
blanked. A huge hand shot out of the 
screen, grabbed GEX by the neck and . . . 
Z2ZZZZTTTTTTT 

Just like that. GEX had been yanked 
through his TV into the Media Dimension 
The cold claw belonged to Rez. who had 
hooked GEX with a bugged fly. 

Rtv was the lard uf the Media Dimension. 
He now intended to make GEX the new 
network mascot. "Out with the peacock, in with the gecko!" 

GEX could only escape by getting his paws on the lemote controls hidden 
throughout the Media Dimension. Once he had the remotes, he could destroy 
the TV sets that blocked the exits and were the portals into the next woilds. 
GEX had to find the last remote, blow up the last TV in the last world and make 
it home ... or spend the rest of his gecko life as a bronzed network mascot' 




00K titTWOBM MASCOT . . . MOft 

Without knowing it. GEX has been practicing all his life for this gig! He's got 
that tail whip down, thanks to years of batting pineapples around with his local 
hall Huh. the Molokai Scalers And how about that tongue lash 9 Slick, eh 9 
You don't get that good without racking up the hours at the Poi Boy sushi bar. 
(especially if the sushi's got 8 legs) Jumping, wall crawling, face stick — GEX's 
natural talents have been honed by years of hanging out with hts lizard pals 
from Diamond Head. Yep. GEX is ready ... for the most whacked-out TV 
episode of his life! 



womim 

GEX hurtles through the 
Media Dimension, back to the 
time and place when Abbott 
and Costello met Franken- 
stein. GEX is caught in a 
creepy horror flick alive with 
Franken-geckos, mad 
slashers, crazy tomatoes and 
other Fright Night foes Slime, fog ... an exorcism 
in the offing! Better check your calendar, 'cuz you're 
stuck on Friday the 13th.

There's nothing like 
getting hung up in 
Channel 26. Fighting 

your way through 

moronic martial arts 

scenes is bad enough. 

but can't they get that 

voice track in sync? It's Big Trouble in Little China 

with ninjas. samurai geckos, sumo wrestlers . . 

enough is enough. Walk softly, little grasshopper, and 

whip a fast tail! 

CAATOOM WOJU0 

Toon Town this ain't! GEX battles cheesy characters 
from crack-of-dawn Saturday 
a.m. cartoons. Retired 
heroes and out-of-work 'toon 
slouchers line up to take a 
swipe at GEX. There's 
nothing like getting a safe 
dropped on your head. Itchy

heart out!

through a malaria factory

the taste of gecko better

twisted reality where network 

programs are chosen. At last. GEX confronts Rez himself in 

a battle that will decide the fate of the universe . . . and 

more importantly, whether a gecko will be next season's 

network mascot!

K Find the special tricks in each worid to overcome the tough 
spots For example, slap the floating skulls with a tail whip to 
knock out Rez's TVs. 

Movie cameras are switches Activate them with a 
tail whip to start up some special mechanism. Then 
look around to see what's changed, for instance, a 
bridge has fallen into place or a door has opened. 

Ride the rafts across shooting geysers. Jump, duck 

and tail-whip from your safe flotation device, but hang on! 

Conveyor belts travel horizontally and vertically Some are grounded, 
others float in the air. Stick on them and you'll be whisked away to other 
places 

The Media Dimension has other surprises in store, such as deadly pools of 
liquid Re2 and secret levels. Find 'em. Dano. 

Each world's boss is rough and tough to beat. Each one can be destroyed 
if you figure out his secret. For instance, it might have to do with some- 
thing the boss likes to eat or drink. 

Find a remote control in each world and whap it with a tail attack to 
gain ownership Figure out how to use the remote to escape lo the 
next level.
